History[]
Starship Troopers novel[]
Company K, Third Regiment, First Mobile Infantry Division, also known as "Willie's Wildcats", is Juan Rico's first unit after graduating from boot camp.
The unit suffered a great loss during Operation Bughouse. Half of the troopers were killed aboard the Valley Forge during its collision with the Ypres, while the ground operation had run the casualties up over 80 percent and it was decided that it was impossible to put the outfit back together with the survivors — close it out, put the records in the archives, and wait until the scars had healed before reactivating Company K.
